Rasputin Lyrics

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his
eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with
fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the
bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind
of teacher
Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian
queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's
greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the
Russian land and never mind the czar
But the kasachok he danced really
wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was
real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler
dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy
healer
Who would heal her son

(Spoken:)
But when his drinking and
lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more
people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became
louder and louder.

"This man's just got to go!" declared his
enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt
this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell
into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap,
they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really
came

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison
into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it
all and he said "I feel fine"

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian
queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's
greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

(Spoken:)
Oh, those Russians...
